Hi,

 

I'm doing analysis on a component related to handling system.  I have meshed the component, given the loads with SPC.  When i have to apply load steps.  I need to give the combination of forces and constraints.  So,Please some one help me to fulfill the steps further.

 

And if anyone known to fatigue analysis procedure.  Please explain step by step procedure.  As there is very less time period to complete my project.

 

Thanks

    Hi Ranjith,

     

    Please refer to the tutorial 

    OS-1000: Linear Static Analysis of a Plate with a Hole 

    on how to refer loads and BCs when creating loadsteps for a simple linear static analysis

     

    Also, there are couple of tutorials available in OptiStruct help for Fatigue.
